Lifestyle & News: Sikh Identity

Dr. Prabhjot Singh, a Sikh American, talks about how he was twice targeted after the September 11 terrorist attacks, and again how he was assaulted near Columbia University in New York by a group of young men and had his jaw broken.

In the eyes of Manpreet Kaur, a Sikh student at California State University-Fresno, "People could think we're being too forward and just making propaganda, but whatever they think, they'll definitely learn more about us."

"It's a great honour to me and all the Sikh community to have an MLA that would be a turbaned Sikh," he said. "We're really thankful to Christy Clark and her team for putting confidence in us and especially me."
